Great tour, learnt a lot about olive oil (including how to tell the good stuff from the bad, health benefits + how to farm the olive trees), plus the tastings were super interesting and delicious. They also had a good COVID protection system in place so felt safe throughout the tour. On top of this the host gave us some great tips for restaurants around the local area. Great tour all up - thanks!

We found wine tasting at Locorotondo, food at Alberobello, and vineyards galore. A lovely area to eat if you can get it freshly prepared. Be warned that some of the region has Italian type fast food like pasta that is pre made and then microwaved. Yuk!

Piazza Maria Immacolata

Reviewed By Sylvain54321 - Lugrin, France

This is one of the most beautiful “white city” in the region. Starting by the “porta di San Stefano”, you will want to lose yourself in the maze of tiny streets in which each house is lovelier than the next one. Even in the hottest summer, the visit remains enjoyable as the tiny streets have lots of shades to get a rest from the sun. In the late afternoon or evening, you may want to have a drink or dinner on this “Piazza Maria Immacolata”, with an fantastic view on the old church.
